In Human history several regimes
have passed who are convicted with crimes mass murder, ethnic cleansing and
genocides. Regimes Like that of Chagaiz Khan (Monghols), Nazi (Hitler),
Communists (Stalin) or Serbs, Muslims in Albania, Bengal, Balochs etc and many
more killed millions of innocent people on the name of race, religion and
ideologies.

The regimes belong to different
ideologies, religions, races and nationalities but one thing remained common
among and that is the methodology of getting rid of the opponents. As per
studies every genocide is more or less comprised of same stages. In 1996
Gregory Stanton, the president of Genocide Watch, presented a briefing paper
called "The 8 Stages of
Genocide" at the United States Department of State. In it he suggested
that genocide develops in eight stages that are "predictable but not
inexorable".

Eight Stages of
Genocide

Stage

Characteristics

Preventive measures

1.Classification

People are divided into
"us and them".

"The main preventive
measure at this early stage is to develop universalistic institutions
that transcend... divisions."

2.Symbolisation

"When combined with
hatred, symbols may be forced upon unwilling members of pariah
groups..."

"To combat symbolization,
hate symbols can be legally forbidden as can hate speech".

3.Dehumanisation

"One group denies the
humanity of the other group. Members of it are equated with animals, vermin,
insects, parasites, or diseases."

"Local and international
leaders should condemn the use of hate speech and make it culturally unacceptable.
Leaders who incite genocide should be banned from international travel and
have their foreign finances frozen."

4.Organization

"Genocide is always
organized... Special army units or militias are often trained and
armed..."

"The U.N. should impose arms
embargoes on governments and citizens of countries involved in genocidal
massacres, and create commissions to investigate violations"

5.Polarisation

"Hate groups broadcast
polarizing propaganda..."

"Prevention may mean
security protection for moderate leaders or assistance to human
rights groups...Coups d’état by extremists should be opposed by
international sanctions."

6.Preparation

"Victims are identified
and separated out because of their ethnic or religious identity..."

"At this stage, a Genocide
Emergency must be declared. ..."

7.Extermination

"It is
"extermination" to the killers because their victims do not want to
leave."

"At this stage, only rapid
and overwhelming armed intervention can stop genocide. Real safe areas or
refugee escape corridors should be established with heavily armed
international protection."

8.Denial

"The perpetrators... deny
that they committed any crimes..."

"The response to denial is
punishment by an international tribunal or national courts"

Keeping in mind the above
mentioned stages of genocide and compare them with what Pakistan is doing one
see amazing similarity in the tactics and stages of each genocide that took
place and same is happening in Balochistan. Now comparing the 8 stages of
genocide with situation in Balochistan we find surprisingly identical situation

1.Pakistan
has classified the people of Balochistan into Baloch and non Baloch

2.Baloch
who are targeted are symbolized as separatist

3.Baloch
are dehumanized and are termed as terrorists to justify there genocide and
massacre, and in order to justify their claim Pakistan is using paid killers to
kill Hazara, Punjabi settlers and civilians and blame it over Balochs

5.Polarization
propaganda is being broadcasted through ISPR funded newspapers, state media,
Social media etc against Balochs, For instance check Ummatpublications Propaganda
against Baloch http://ummat.com.pk/story/2012/04/22/4062/

6.Pakistani
agencies have down there preparation and they regularly issue lists of their
targets usually Baloch officers, Student leaders, Activists etc Again check the
article by pro-taliban Ummat newspaper http://ummat.com.pk/story/2012/04/26/4369/
where they are targeting a Baloch Staff member working at US Consulate Karachi

7.Pakistan
forces have started extermination of Baloch through abduction, kill n dump,
army operations, aerial bombardment and chemical weapon usage

8.Denial
the last stage, Pakistan denies any operation in Balochistan, and hence reject
any evidence of genocide i.e. reports, videos, photos of victim and damage, list
of missing person all.

Balochistan was forcefully annexed by Pakistan in March 1948
against the will of the Baloch people. As a result five armed insurgencies were
witnessed against the occupation of Balochistan by Pakistan. The fifth and the
longest continued insurgency started in 2001 which has intensified in 2005 when
Pakistan Air Forces (PAF) bombed several areas of Balochistan and killed
innocent women and children. In any war the victims has always been unarmed
civilians so is the case in Balochistan.

Pakistan has a notorious track record of committing genocide,
mass murder, collective punishment and ruthless operations against any
community/nation asking for its rights which are snatched by the fascist state.
History remembers Pakistan of committing a mass genocide of Bengalis where
estimated 3 million people were massacred in a record 6 months period. Around
400,000 Bengali Women were raped by the Islamic Army of Pakistan. In Balochistan 15000 Marri tribesmen were
killed and others were sent in exile after the insurgency of 1973. In 1992-1998
operation some 15000 Urdu speaking Muhajirs were killed by the same Pakistani
army with the help and approval of dominant Punjabi elite, in Karachi.

This fame of atrocities of Pakistan taught a new lesson to
the military establishment of committing selective genocide instead of mass
genocide. This time when Baloch raised voice of their right to
self-determination and independence of Baloch occupied state, Pakistani
establishment and intelligence agencies adopted the new strategy of forced
disappearances, and kill and dump policy. Under this policy they torture these
victims in secret torture cells and after acquiring information or finding the
victim irrelevant they are killed and bodies are dumped on desolate mountains
or empty city roads, bearing the scars of great cruelty. They all killed in
similar fashion; their arms and legs are snapped; faces are bruised and
swollen. Flesh is sliced with knives or punctured with drills; genitals are
singed with electric prods. In some cases the bodies are unrecognizable,
sprinkled with lime or chewed by wild animals. All have a gunshot wound in the
head and upper torso.

In last 15 months more than 350 such bodies of Baloch
students, political activists and intellectuals (Journalists, poets, teachers,
doctors, lawyers and social activists) have been found who were earlier picked
up by Pakistan’s Para military forces operating under the name of Frontier
constabulary (FC).

Torture and mutilation of bodies dead and alive is more
problematic, if only because it is odious to civilized society. Throughout the
years, those cultures which have "seen the light" have been horrified
by the desecration of bodies committed by barbarians of other cultures. We
think of the Nazis in World War II who justified torture and mutilation of live
bodies for "scientific" purposes. The communists in Russia,
especially under Stalin, committed similar atrocities on ethnic groups. The
Khmer Rouge beheaded and chopped the limbs from innocent people and left them
by the thousands in the killing fields of Cambodia. European tribes beheaded
their foes posting the heads along roads or at the town gates as a grisly
warning to those who would oppose them. The Catholic Church in Europe,
especially Spain, during the Inquisition tortured and mutilated those who it
thought were possessed by the devil or those it simply wanted to get rid of for
political reasons.

The international human rights organizations like Amnesty
international, Asian human rights commission, etc raised their concerns over
such incidents, which triggered an alarm among the Pakistan intelligence
agencies and as a result they started operating using fake names to deceive the
world. Many armed organization such as Musalah Defah tanzeem,
Sipa-e-Shudah-e-Balochistan and Tehreek-e-Nifaz-e Aman Balochistan have been
formed using their agents like Shafique Mengal, Siraj Raisani, Kohi Khan
Mengal, Imam Bheel, (who is also the sole financier of NP, a Pro-Pakistan
Political Party), Atta ur Rehman Mengal etc. These organizations recruit the
religious extremists, thugs, criminals and drug dealers as mercenaries, and in
return get incentives and license to rob on highways, attack NATO supplies,
smuggle drug from afghan border to anywhere in country and kidnap for ransom.

Ghulam Qadir Massori hand in had with Major Saleem Nawaz, Killer of Baloch people

Pakistani intelligence agencies has a vast experience of
establishing and controlling such underground groups, which were used in
different parts of the world, some of such organization which took birth from
the womb of ISI and their area of operation are as follows:

Dera Bugti Balochistan, working against the loyalists of Nawab Akbar
Khan Bugti

Ghulam Qadir Massori Bugti

14.

Bijrani Marri Levis Force

Kohlu and Chamalang areas of Balochistan

Mir Hazar Khan Ramkhani

In war or armed conflicts, truth is the first casualty. Who
is abducting the Baloch people and dumping their mutilated tortured bodies
remains a mystery to the military and Pakistani media. The stunning lack of
interest in Balochistan's greatest murder mystery shows the resolve of the
government and the military in solving Balochistan issue. The mighty military
men disown involvement of intelligence agencies in committing such barbaric
acts at least in front of the media while in gathering of personal nature they
openly claim how they are inflicting miseries on the Baloch people. The Wild
West mindset did not got them anywhere in Bangladesh and surely the same
strategy will get them nowhere in Balochistan.

Siraaj Raisani with his private Militia

The country's powerful military and its unaccountable
intelligence gang of sadistic serial killers are running the barbaric show in
Baluchistan. Everyday a new headline is made of the latest victim of these
sadistic serial killers. Gen Javed Zia in his press conference made a
remarkable statement, that `patriotic elements` had hit back against Baloch
insurgents and those involved in desecrating the Pakistani flag. The so called
“Patriotic Elements” are the creation of intelligence agencies that are also spotted
around roaming in cities with their private militias in non tax paid smuggled
vehicles with jet black tinted glasses.

No one dares to raise the question that how come the victims
of enforced disappearances who were arrested by FC and Police in broad day
light in front of dozen of witnesses or at least the family members of the
victim get transferred to the Hands of these so-called “Patriotic Elements”.

Siraaj Raisani, Leader of Nefaaz-Aman-Balochistan

Recently Nawabsada Siraj Khan Raisani’s Tehreek-e-Nifaz-Aman
Balochistan claimed that they are have thirty people from Chamalang their
custody who were two day prior arrested by FC in Chamalang after an operation.
Similarly, this criminal group has claimed that they are holding 15 people from
Dera Bugti, these fifteen people were also arrested by Pakistan Para-military
forces during an offensive operation from different regions of Sui and Dera
Bugti. If these criminals gangs are not
the civilian death squad of Pakistan Army than how come these people arrested
by Para-Military (FC) are now in Mastung in Siraj Raisani’s Torture cells.

In addition, the Musallah Defa Tanzeem and Nefaaz-e-Aman
have recently released a list of at least 35 Journalists from Balochistan and
warned them to stop writing about Pakistani atrocities in Balochistan;
otherwise they will be killed one after other. Prior to the issuing of this
list the Nefaaz-Aman-Balochistan had threatened to kill Journalist and writer
Abdul Hafeez aka Hafeez Hasanabadi. They had also said that the Organisation
would kill his family members in most gruesome way by inflicting brutal agony
on them. Ironically, the Criminal group quoted Ahmar Mustikan a, US biased
blogger and self-proclaimed journalist, to back their accusations against Mr
Hafeez. It is not yet clear whether Ahmar has any affiliations with this killer
group or they just took advantage of Ahmar’s anti Hafeez propagandas.

Samad Tagrani, the
finance secretary of Baloch National Movement getting arrested by local
Policemen and Intelligence agencies from Hub town, his dead tortured marked
body was found at Windar town of Balochistan

Similarly this picture shows the Samad Tagrani, the finance
secretary of Baloch National Movement getting arrested by local Policemen and Intelligence
agencies from Hub town, his dead tortured marked body was found at Windar near
an army garrison but the responsibility of his murder was taken Baloch Musalah
Defah Tanzeem which according to Gen Javed Zia is a “Patriotic Group” Hitting
the Balochs.

There are dozens of such incidents where local Police
authorities picked up victims, or FC picked up a victim in a Raid and later
their bodies were found with confession letters from the so-called Patriotic
Groups.

The same bloody game is being repeated again, the same
strategy is being adopted again and the same tools of death has been used again
to deter what the army thinks as an insurgency. The number of killings and
deaths will lead to more people joining the ranks of the Baloch freedom
fighters in order to take revenge of the atrocities committed to them or their
family members by the military establishment. At the moment it seems that there
will be no end to this sorry saga of executions in Balochistan.

ISLAMABAD: People in Kharotabad are living in constant fear of possible drone attacks in their neighbourhood, considering that over the past six months, the Afghan and local Taliban seemed to covet this part of Quetta as a veritable ‘vacation spot’.

Every four months, Taliban fighters return from war fronts in Afghanistan and rent out dozens of residential accommodations in this vicinity, The Express Tribune has learnt.

Their presence is becoming a major concern for people living in adjoining areas, especially because this is the same area where the US alleges the Quetta Shura is hiding out.

A few madrassahs in Kharotabad are also providing ‘free’ accommodation to these militants.

They move freely as if to defy invisible observers, who they think are keeping a watch over them, making it obvious to them that Kharotabad is a safe haven for the Taliban.

Creating an army

Students from religious seminaries in the province are being recruited for the Afghan Taliban movement, a dime a dozen. They are reportedly ‘trained for jihad’ in Afghanistan by Afghan ‘commanders’, before they are sent on designated terror missions.

At least six to eight new, unarmed recruits leave Kuchlak Bazar, located near Quetta, on brand new 75CC motorbikes every morning, headed towards Afghanistan.

They are, it is learnt, told to avoid travelling on main highways to dodge security forces and instead take lesser known mountainous routes via Kuchlak to Qamar Din Karez town on the Pak-Afghan border.

They also avoid travelling in groups – two persons per motorbike. They are also given Rs5,000 each, in addition to sufficient money for fuel.

A majority of these boys join Taliban with their parent’s consent, while many others embark on this ‘holy mission’ without the knowledge of their guardians.

The ideology faction of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI), led by MNA Maulana Esmatullah and his party members, is a motivating force for these young students of Balochistan.

Mullah Omar’s messages to people in Pakistan and other parts of the world are also sent through Kandahar to Quetta.

Free medical care for war-wounded Taliban

The Afghan and local Taliban who are wounded during their missions in Afghanistan, are reportedly receiving free medical treatment at five prominent private hospitals, a majority of which are situated on the Airport Road.

The administration at these hospitals told The Express Tribune that an international NGO of world repute, funds their medical care.”We are being paid by this NGO for the medical care being provided to the wounded or sick Taliban militants,” the administrator at Dr Abdul Khaliq Memorial Hospital alleged.

The NGO does not allow the police or intelligence agencies access to these “under-treatment” Taliban. The NGO puts up a ‘don’t know’ front “We have not set up any field hospitals in Balochistan to provide medical assistance to the Afghan Taliban or other militants,” the NGO’s head of sub-delegation told The Express Tribune.

However, he said, the NGO is supporting three private hospitals in Quetta for providing medical assistance to wounded people. “Doctors at Ikram Hospital and Imdad Hospital are providing medical assistance to people injured in bomb blasts, firing incidents and other forms of violence.”

Hundreds of patients, mostly Afghans, receive treatment at these private hospitals in the provincial capital, he added.
